WHAT IS LIVE-IN CARE?

A live-in carer lives with you in your own home allowing you, or those you love, to remain living where you are happiest and most comfortable, in the familiar surroundings you love best for as long as possible.

For the vast majority of people live-in care will be the preferred choice as opposed to residential care, It is widely recognised that care at home, with one to one support, promotes health and emotional wellbeing in a holistic way that residential care, no matter how good, simply cannot. Maintaining and preserving a person’s independence and dignity is absolutely vital in order to promote and sustain health and happiness. Professional live-in care enables a person to continue to live safely and securely in their own home with the care and support that they need.

Live-in care can be a cost effective alternative to a residential or care home, especially so in the case of a couple, allowing you to retain control over the way you choose to live, in the place that you are most comfortable and secure, with none of the disruption of a move and loss of community ties that moving into a care home entail.

A live-in carer typically works 7 days a week, will be with you for 24 hours a day and is on hand to help you as necessary. Our carers can engage you in conversation and keep you company should you so wish, they can assist you with tasks that you need help with and be as active or discreet as required, giving you as much privacy, peace and quiet as you wish.

Live-in care affords relatives greater peace of mind and assurance that their loved one is being looked after on a one to one basis where they are happiest – at home.
